family lost through the cracks in the game
Dragon Slave:
alright thanks. Someone sent me a link as well. This is just what I need. 8)

I'm glad you got your family back, I know the feeling of panic when terrible things go wrong with your game. I learned the hard with with OfB when it came out changing the lot code while a sim was on the lot, it was terrible. Just to let you know what would have happened if you did try to "fix" the family that was in the hotel if you moved them out right away.
What I did was go to a family in a neighborhood lot, use InSim to "summon" the members of the stuck family, then use boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true to get the tombstone of L&D. Once my sims were on the lot from being summoned, I moved them into the new family. Once there, move them out after changing the boolprop back to boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false. When you put your family into a new lot or even their old one, which is what I did because the old lot was not unoccupied, after the taxi leaves after dropping them off, the vacation shuttle will also come by and stop for a little bit as it dropping them off. They won't get the vacation benefits though. It is imperitive you delete that hotel they were in though, it won't work at all now. I would delete it from your lot bin if I was you, just to be safe, in case you forget it's a broken hotel.

I 'lost' a sim too. Called her on the phone from her 'best' friends house. She came. I was trying to get her back without any cheats.I got the relationship up and, if I remember right--I've slept since then, I got the move in option, only she wouldn't move in. I finally went for the tombstone and got her. She got on a PC, moved out, I moved her into her original house.
Of course, the house was empty of all belongings and had to rebuy everything. Weird: when I checked her firdge it had her fish that she had caught days before--but lost all her fruits and veggies which were in the juicer. I thought if the fish was there in the 'new' fridge, then the fandvs would be in the 'new' juicer, but nope.
The hotel she waslost t, is 'open' for business in that the bed overhead is gone and it is enter-able. When you say that lot is broken and should be leveled: does that mean if I send a sim there they'll be 'lost'? Or did you mean that your hotel lot never lost the bed icon, never 'opened' up?

I went into the hotel and deleted the original bed and check in desk and put in new ones, I didn't have the green "occupied bed" hanging over the hotel at all--because the shuttle came by the house after I had moved the sims back in. But when I had a sim try to go there, it was greyed out on the list as if someone was still in it even there there wasn't and there was no green bed over the hotel. It was just unplayable so I bulldozed it and replaced it.
I've taken all the lots from vacationland and put them in my lot catalog so it's no problem for me to delete a hotel, I have another one to replace it.

Lady Moiraine, I think you got your Debug mode cheat code the wrong way round. The 'boolprop' cheats are either/or statements - if you think about what it means, it helps to get it the right way round:
boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
turns it on because it says it's true that the testing cheats are enabled. 'False' to turn it off.
